NATIVITY! is a feelgood comedy film written and directed by Debbie Isitt and brings together some of Britain’s best homegrown talent.

Martin Freeman (The Office, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) stars as Mr Maddens, a frustrated, under-achieving primary school teacher.

His long time adversary Gordon Shakespeare, played by Jason Watkins (Being Human, Little Dorrit), teaches at the posh independent school up the road.

Each year in the lead up to Christmas, the two schools are embroiled in a bitter rivalry to achieve a five-star review from the local paper for their nativity play and, unsurprisingly, Mr Maddens’ school always comes runner-up.

Goaded by his rival’s arrogance, Mr Maddens makes an idle boast that this year, his school’s show-stopping musical has attracted the attention of his big time producer ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lore (Ashley Jensen from Ugly Betty and Extras), who wants to make a Hollywood movies starring his pupils.

Mr Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity but, as Coventry turns into Tinseltown, the big question still remains – will Jennifer bring Hollywood to town to make all their dreams come true?

With guest appearances from funny man Alan Carr and comic veteran Ricky Tomlinson (The Royle Family), Nativity! is sure to get you in a jolly mood in time for Christmas.
